Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 79

Dylan had one of his bodyguards wait for the tow truck before he went his way with the rest of them. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Kendall, on the other hand, was chauffeured by Ronnie to the airport to pick up Amelia.

They were on the road when she asked, "Where is your young master headed to, anyway?"

"Young Master Dylan said that he's going to visit his mother-in-law's house."

"Oh, Dylan even—wait… What? Mother-in-law?! Isn't his mother-in-law's house my house?"

Ronnie almost laughed out loud if he hadn't caught himself in time. Instead, he mused, "I am surprised you still remember that you are Young Master Dylan's wife, Young Mistress Kendall."

Kendall's cheeks immediately flushed red when he said that. "Don't tease me, Ronnie. I will definitely persist to the end since I was the one who insisted on being responsible over Dylan. Of course I am aware that I am the young mistress. Stop making fun of me and tell me what he is going to my house for."

If Dylan had gone to look for her, he should be on his way back now that he knew she was heading to the airport. That ruled out the possibility of him heading over for her. He is probably there to meet Mommy, then, Kendall thought.

"Does a son-in-law need a reason for visiting his mother-in-law's place?" Ronnie asked in return, making her speechless.

Dylan's bodyguards were just as equally suffocating as he was.

Unbeknownst to Kendall, he initially planned to drop by to pick her up. However, he had a change of mind after the accident that happened to her and he was going to snitch on her now!

Dylan was currently still sitting in his wheelchair. The only difference was that the person he was sitting in front of was Charlotte.

Kelly, who had always been afraid of him, didn't have the guts to face him, so she was about to scurry upstairs when Dylan called out to her.

"Ms. Parker."

Her footsteps suddenly felt like they weighed a ton when she heard that.

As she was unable to take another step forward, she turned around and stole a glance at him. She had to admit that he was a dashing man, but he had a heart too cruel.

An example of his tyranny was how Coleman Empire Holdings suddenly made Whittle Holdings their enemy even though they had always had a peaceful business relationship with one another. There wasn't even a chance for the Whittle Holdings to fully grasp the situation before they fell into the pickle they were in today.

"Master Dylan," she respectfully greeted, not showing a hint of the fear she was feeling on the inside.

"I would like to discuss a serious matter with Mrs. Parker. It may be inappropriate to have another pair of ears listening in on our conversation. I hope you give us space, Ms. Parker."

Kelly's eyes darted in Charlotte's direction and she quickly answered, "Alright."

Then, she informed Charlotte, "Mommy, I will be heading to the hospital to take care of her."

"Go ahead. Be careful on the road," Charlotte calmly reminded.

As Kelly made her way out of the building, the bodyguards that Dylan had brought along also followed after her.

Charlotte couldn't help but think that they were heading out as well not to give them privacy, but to stand guard at the entrance to prevent anyone from entering. What could someone as dignified as this man have in mind to talk to me about? she wondered.

"Mommy," he greeted in his low voice, almost scaring Charlotte out of her wits. She wasn't used to him addressing him in such an intimate manner.

Still, she managed to wear a maternal smile as she softly asked, "What would you like to talk to me about, Master Dylan?"

"Mrs. Parker, Kendall had an accident."

"What?!" The smile immediately disappeared as it was replaced by a horrified expression. Charlotte abruptly jumped out of her seat. "Where did it happen? How badly injured is she?!" she questioned.

"Calm down. Kendall is fine. Only the car was slightly damaged. She still insisted on going to the airport to pick up a friend after the accident, so I had to arrange for a driver to take her there."

After hearing that only the car was damaged and that her daughter was safe, Charlotte plopped back down on the couch again.

As she patted her chest to calm her thumping heart, she sighed. "You almost scared me to death. Thank God nothing happened to her."

They could always replace the wrecked car with a new one anyway since they had many luxury cars sitting around in the garage.

"What about the other person involved in the accident? Were they injured? Was it serious?"

Dylan pursed his lips together and answered, "It was quite serious as the tree trunk almost broke in half. The leaves had fallen all around as well."

"She bumped into a tree by the roadside?"

"Mhm."

Charlotte let out another sigh again, this time out of relief. She could only be grateful that no lives were harmed.

"Are you aware of how Kendall drives?"

"She is quite good at driving. I have been a passenger in her car before. She drives steadily."

He fell silent after she said that.

"I must have seen it wrongly then." He finally spoke again, "But I am sure the person who was speeding last time was her. She was also the person who drove like she was flying a plane today. She wouldn't have almost knocked into my car if she wasn't speeding, and she definitely wouldn't have hit the afforestation tree by the side of the road if she wasn't trying to avoid hitting my car."

Charlotte was at a loss of words upon hearing that. She seemed to be in deep thought for a long second before she carefully brought up, "May I know what is your intention for dropping by today, Master Dylan?"

"I am here to file a complaint, Mother."

"File a complaint?"

"Please do not allow Kendall to drive from now on. She is not as steady a driver as you think she is. She loves speeding. Just watching her drive can give anyone a heart attack."

Charlotte's lips opened and closed, but she didn't know what to reply to him.

Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, Dylan added, "I am sure you wouldn't want today's incident to happen again. Kendall was lucky to only have knocked into a tree and destroyed the car this time, but what if there is a next time? At the speed that she drives at, she could even cause death if she were to bump into another car. Both she and other drivers are at risk here."

Her face quickly turned pale with each word he spoke. "I will do as you say, Master Dylan," she quavered. "I won't let her drive anymore the next time she comes home."

Kendall was the founder of a martial arts training institute before she returned to her biological parents. As someone who was trained in different self-defense techniques, like sanda and taekwondo, she could never behave like the typical daughters of a rich household—usually gentle and obedient.

Charlotte knew full well how Kendall had held back her boisterous, unruly side and lived a careful life ever since she had become a member of the Parkers. Charlotte had always thought that the daughter of the prestigious Parker Family should be one who was a fine, knowledgeable woman. In fact, it was more than she had hoped for when Kendall was willing to put her past behind her.

However, it didn't mean that Kendall's personality had changed in any way because of that.

"Thank you," Dylan said.

"You are most welcome, Master Dylan. Kendall is my own daughter, so I care more about her than you do." And even more about her life and death.

He fell silent after he was done 'snitching'.

Now that he wasn't speaking, Charlotte didn't know what to make conversation of as well.

Even though Dylan was her son-in-law, she still had her reservations about treating him like one.

He suddenly threw out a question. "Did the Whittles bring the dowry over?"

She didn't even take a second to guess how Dylan found out about it as she hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Whittle was here, but I shooed her away. Also, she wasn't here to propose to Kendall on behalf of her son. She was here for Kelly. Please don't misunderstand Kendall, Master Dylan. She wasn't aware that

Mrs. Whittle would come around." The Whittles are asking for Kelly Parker's hand in marriage? Dylan started wondering.

His sharp eyes instantly turned cold when he recalled all that had happened when he had asked his men to investigate both Jackson and Kelly.

The two were obviously in love with each other but somehow, after Kendall had fallen in love at first sight with Jackson, the duo started putting on an act where one was head over heels for Kendall, whereas the other was incredibly supportive of the relationship.

It didn't take Dylan much to figure out what sort of plan they had up their sleeves. Kelly Parker!

He would let her off his hook for now. He might as well leave her to be his company's chew toy. However, he wasn't going to let the Whittles get off easy.

He only spat, "The Whittles are a capricious bunch, aren't they?"

Charlotte immediately erupted from anger then. "Mrs. Whittle intentionally did that to take revenge on my Kendall. Oh—this makes me so mad!"
